THE managing director of a haulage company was fined £9 and ordered to pay £3 12s. 6d. costs, last week, when he admitted driving one of his lorries without 10 consecutive hours' rest in 24. He was Thomas Peel, of Thomas Peel, Ltd., Kineton, Warwicks. An employee was fined £1 by Kineton magistrates on a similar summons and Peel's were fined £1 for permitting the offence.
Mr. A. Moore, defending, pointed out that the company concentrated on livestock and the offences took place on market-days. During the markets, drivers had long breaks, but these did not count as legal rest periods. The offences came to light when the company sought an extra B-licence lorry and were asked to produce records.
